We who follow in the Way of Jesus today are a small part of the Communion of Saints, God's Holy People. We are bound to all of those who have gone before us; we are bound to those who today run this race with us. We don't know them all, but they are family. Most of these saints are faces that pass us by, maybe we receive a nod, maybe we shout a word of encouragement, but there is a solidarity in knowing that they too are out there, in the race. We are in this together.
